2/2/2010 My name is Eileen. This deer was hanging in my sister's house and she asked me if I could try to sell it on ebay for her. I put the deer, which I named Jimmy, in my car and drove home. I got weird looks on the thruway with Jimmy looking out the window at passing cars, let me tell you. Probably the weirdest thing was when I carried Jimmy into the local Post Office to weigh him (he weighs 13 lbs. 7 oz. btw) to see if it was feasible to offer shipping ... it wasn't ... cost over $100 to ship ... ouch. The post office workers were unfazed ... you've got to wonder what they've seen in their line of work to not even blink at this. I did get some double takes from people walking in and out of the post office though. One guy said "you don't see that everyday, a girl walking out of the post office carrying a deer head." Thank you sir for calling me a girl, most of the time I get "mammed". I called my mom and told her about it and we cracked jokes about me going to the local mall with Jimmy and just casually walking around. Knowing my luck I would end up running from mall security yelling "Don't take Jimmy!". Anyway, I regretted listing Jimmy and decided to pull his ebay ad, expand on the idea of taking Jimmy places deer heads don’t usually go and create a blog. These are the adventures of Jimmy the deer head ...

2/3/10 Jimmy checked out his ad on ebay last night. Said it was a good picture, but was disappointed in the asking price.

2/13/10 Jimmy and I took a little joy ride last night. Jimmy drove. He was getting a bit stir-crazy hanging out at home because I had hurt my back the week before and we couldn't go out. The paparazzi heard about it and we didn't get much peace. Jimmy was ticked. Don't worry ... no-one was run over.

Jimmy and me taken by surprise. Jimmy swearing at the paparazzi.

3/3/10 Jimmy told me he had a dream he was on Jeopardy last night. He knew every category in the Jeopardy round ... "Chasing Doe's", "Antler and Hoof Care", "Good Stuff to Eat in Gardens", "The Art of Car Dodging" and "Damn, Is that a Gun?". Granted, he had a handicap in that it's really hard to push the buzzer with your nose ... but he did really well until Final Jeopardy. The Category was "American Politics". He lost it all when he answered "I got to pee" for the question "What political party is the current President affiliated with?". He woke up in a cold sweat when Trebek put on the camouflage hunting jacket and said "Jimmmmmy" in a scary baritone. He's been a bit freaked all day. So .... does anyone know where you can get deer prozac?

"I'll take Deer Head Trivia for $200, Alex".

4/18/10 Did you see Jimmy on TV when he was a guest judge on Project Runway? The design challenge was for hunting inspired gear. His favorite was the camouflage mini dress with the stiletto heels ... he figured it would be really hard to catch a deer in that. He found Heidi a bit frightening because she was telling him how much she loved her new doe-skin Jimmy Choo's.
